🚨 Good News Story!

A recent call in Wilmot Township is a great reminder that working carbon monoxide alarms save lives!

Residents were alerted to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide inside their home, thanks to their CO alarm. Because the alarm was working and sounded when it was needed, the danger was detected before it could become even more serious.

Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless, making a working alarm your best defence against this silent threat.

Protect you home. Protect your family.
βœ… Make sure you have working CO alarms on every level of your home
βœ… Test your alarms monthly and replace batteries when needed
βœ… If your alarm sounds, get outside and call 911

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honour all those who were affected by the events of that day.

We remember the victims, their families and loved ones, the first responders who answered the call, and the countless people whose lives were forever changed.

We remember. We honour. We will never forget.
